Chapter: 1824
They briefly glanced at Pyo-wol, but they soon lost interest as they sat in a different area unrelated to the gathering.

Like the inn servant, it seemed that they had also come here today to catch a glimpse of the renowned talents. That meant that the gathering of talents was a major point of interest here.

Pyo-wol sat down and looked out at the view of the street.

The sight of people stumbling under the red lanterns seemed somewhat unfamiliar. He couldn�t quite grasp how it felt to live freely while being thoroughly intoxicated like that.

It was then.

�It feels good to go to the countryside for a while. Is it true that the alcohol here is so delicious?�

�You won�t be disappointed. Among all the drinks I�ve had, this place is undoubtedly the best.�

�Hehe! If you guarantee it, then I�m sure it�s true. I�m looking forward to it.�

With a loud bang, the two people ascended to the second floor.�

Two men ascended to the second floor, engaged in conversation.

One of them was a young man of noble appearance, dressed in a blue robe. His sharp gaze and well-defined jawline seemed to involuntarily cause those who looked at him to be intimidated.

The other was a spirited and fierce-looking young man wearing a sleeveless martial attire that exposed his shoulders. His muscular physique and his tanned skin similarly gave him an imposing appearance.

At their arrival, the people around Pyo-wol began to murmur amongst themselves.�

�Isn�t that young master Zhao Yiguang of the Nanjing sect? He looks as extraordinary as the rumors say him to be.�

�Then the person he is with must be young master Bok Hojin of the Changjiang Fortress, right?�

�I heard that young master Zhao and young master Bok are close friends. It seems like it was true.�

The man wearing a blue robe was none other than Zhao Yiguang, while the one in sleeveless attire was Bok Hojin.

Zhao Yiguang had a reputation for being the successor of the Nanjing sect.�

The Nanjing sect, which is also often referred to as the Zhao clan, is based in Nanjing, a city near Lake Tai. The Zhao clan is a prestigious family that wielded significant power and influence in Nanjing for generations.�

With such a long-standing history, they managed to forge extensive connections and became powerful enough to be secretly recognized as the rulers of Jiangsu Province.�

Zhao Yiguang, as the successor of the Nanjing sect, inherited his father�s influence and connections. Known for his admirable character and outstanding personality, many sought to establish ties with him.

On the other hand, Bok Hojin, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Yiguang, belonged to the Nokrim faction.1�

The Nokrim faction was originally united under the Heavenly Heights Stronghold.2 However, as the years passed, the Heavenly Heights Stronghold was divided into two valleys and four fortresses.�

The two valleys were Ziying Valley and Shaoyun Valley; while the four fortresses were Huaying Fortress, Gosan Fortress, Baekho Fortress, and Changjiang Fortress.

Although the Changjiang Fortress was considered the last of the four, it was the most influential. This was because it made use of the tributaries along Yangtze River.

They collected tolls at various locations along the said river, thus making them wealthier than most top factions.�

Although prestigious families and factions belonging to the Nokrim are usually polar opposites, the Nanjing sect and Changjiang Fortress have been inseparable for decades, resulting in a close relationship between their respective heirs, Zhao Yiguang and Bok Hojin.�

As if to prove this fact, the two walked up and took their seats amicably, paying no attention to the gazes of others.�

The inn servant, who had recommended this floor to Pyo-wol earlier, quickly came up to them and bowed.�
